Boho Baby Knits

I am so excited to be able to post about this book. Kat Coyle approached me a little over a year ago to see if I'd like to contribute to her upcoming book. I received my copy last week and wanted to wait until she posted before I did so.

The cover alone will probably sell you. The patterns in this book run the gamut from simple to complex, but each is original, fun, and worked in gorgeous yarns. I think I speak for everyone who contributed when I say that Kat is absolutely fantastic to work with. She has great vision, an impeccable eye for color, and her years of designing makes her keenly aware of what a designer needs to do their job successfully. I'm so proud to be a part of this book.

This is my pattern, The Poet Coat. It's worked in two shades of Blue Sky Alpaca and adorned with gold star buttons and a zipper pull.

The main pattern is a linen stitch which produces a really dense fabric without much bulk.

I had the great fortune to work as technical editor on this book and to be "in on it" from it's early days. It's an absolute winner and this coat is wonderful and well thought out -- and really, really cool!

My son is six and probably entirely too large for that coat.. but I'm sure he'd love that whole outfit and would have many hours of fun pretending to be a pirate. Great job on designing such a fun and funky coat!

MUST. ORDER. BOOK. I'm a sucker for kids' knits to begin with. And being familiar with those of you involved in this, I know the rest of the patterns will be just as gorgeous. My niece and nephew are in *so* much trouble now. They're going to run away when they see me coming with a present.
